Work has been proceeding well on the desktop bookmark repair work (bug
1317223 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1317223>). The
current status is:
* All current work is on the elm twig
<https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=elm>, which is
continuously running the full test suite. This is regularly being
updated against mozilla-central, so no rebasing surprises are expected.
* Almost all patches have been fully reviewed, with a couple of
exceptions:
o rnewman has a review request on "part 1", which I expect he will
complete soon, and while he might raise some issues I've no
reason to believe they will be difficult to resolve.
o Thom is still working on a couple of patches we've identified we
need - one to prevent multiple requests being started at the
same time from different devices, and another to ensure we don't
repair while in an inconsistent state. I expect these to be done
early this week.
o Kit is working on integration tests, which are proving a little
tricker. If this looks like not being complete this week we may
consider landing without these tests, but treat the tests as a
high-priority after landing.
* The code is setup such that the code which /initiates /a repair will
not ride the trains past Aurora (although the code that /responds/
will ride the trains)
* The repair process writes detailed event telemetry and is controlled
via a single preference, so we can easily disable the entire repair
process is necessary, and should be able to get good insights into
how successful the repair is.
Our plan is to land this in the next week or so, at which time we will
do the following:
* Update the documentation for the repair process as a guide for the
iOS implementation.
* Arrange to see telemetry for repairs that happen and monitor the
success.
* Work on identified followups
* Tweak the process based on telemetry results
* profit?
Please let me know if there are any questions about this.
Cheers,
Mark
